The Suzuki Sidekick was a mini SUV. It was created by a joint venture by Suzuki and GM known as CAMI. The vehicle was a follow-up to the popular SJ413 and Samurai.
The Sidekick was sold as the Suzuki Escudo in Asia, the Suzuki Vitara in Europe and Australia, the Geo Tracker in the United States, and as the GMC Tracker, Chevrolet Tracker, Asüna Sunrunner and Pontiac Sunrunner in Canada. Originally the Sidekick was available as a 2-door convertible or a two-door hardtop. The Sidekick was introduced in 1989 and was sold until it was replaced by the second generation Vitara in 1999. In 1991, a long wheelbase 4-door Sidekick was introduced which was replaced in 1995 with the upscale Sport. In 1996, Suzuki introduced the Suzuki X-90 which was mechanically identical to the Sidekick but had a much rounder body, a trunk, and removable T-bar roof. The X-90 disappeared from Suzuki's lineup after the 1998 model year.
The Suzuki Sidekick came standard with a 1.6 L 8-valve I4 engine with a 1.6 L 16-valve engine available, the latter of which was preferred. An independent front suspension gave it better handling and the solid rear axle helped keep its off-road credentials intact.
Common modifications are lower gears in the transfer case and a body lift or suspension lift in order to run 28 in to 35 in tires.[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Suzuki Sidekick ]
